Barbara Robertson, MA, IBCLC
Barbara Robertson’s passion for lactation education was initially sparked by a personal interest that steadily evolved into a vocation spanning over 25 years. Her professional journey began as a peer support group leader and progressed to her founding The Breastfeeding Center of Ann Arbor in Michigan, USA, and, subsequently, LactaLearning. Barbara has been an educator for over 35 years, and she deftly applies her master’s degree in curriculum development to lactation course creation. She believes that coursework should be both engaging and informative, and her signature use of a variety of learning modalities makes LactaLearning courses experiential, enjoyable, and effective. Barbara served as Director of Professional Development for the U.S. Lactation Consultant Association and as a contributing editor for its journal. She travels as a speaker and creates podcasts, videos, and articles, in addition to guiding the LactaLearning community.
Speaking Experience
Barbara’s dynamic presentation style weaves in discussion, small and large group exercises, and personal reflection to help learners absorb and incorporate the ideas presented. Barbara presents in a way that is always informative and often humorous, easily holding the attention of any audience. She is admittedly a breastfeeding nerd and keeps up with the latest research to provide a top-notch educational experience.
